HP Openmail, perhaps best known as
the winner of the "top product" at the San
Jose Linux Expo 99, is now available as a fully
supported product from Hewlett Packard as of the
8th of October. As well as offering a version
with full support, it is also giving away
free licenses for up to 50 users per site.

Openmail is, according to HP, designed
for large enterprises. It also hopes that
ISPs looking to provide a more up-market email
offering will provider it as a value-added product.
This is perhaps one the reasons for a Linux port,
as ISPs use Linux extensively. Openmail offers
compatability with Microsoft Outlook as well
as standard Internet mail services.
